About this house rental

The Seaside Sanctuary is the ground level unit of a beachfront duplex. It is the 2nd home from the beach with no roads to cross. The front yard is literally thirty steps from one of the most pristine beaches on the Gulf of Mexico. If you open the windows at night, you can hear the rolling surf and smell the salt air. The house is located on a quiet residential street near the north tip of the island. There is no public parking in this area so you pretty much have the beach to yourself. The front deck features plenty of seating and is a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful Florida weather. The house is clean, comfortable and well appointed. The back yard has a shed with some beach gear, a BBQ grill, picnic table, chiminea and a sun sail shade. We welcome well behaved dogs and have a fully fenced yard for your pup to play.

The house is light and bright with a multitude of windows. Everything is decorated in a fun and classy "seaside" style. We believe in a good night's sleep so we invested in high quality memory foam mattresses, crisp, clean linens and plenty of pillows. For the chef in the family, there is a fully stocked kitchen with everything needed to cook and serve most meals. Nothing is more annoying than going to a vacation home that has only one pot and 3 plates! The house has high def smart TVs, bluetooth sound bar for streaming your favorite music and lightning fast wifi throughout. We are neat freaks so you can expect the house to be immaculately clean. In fact, we do a full deep cleaning after each guest. We tried to think of everything so you have all the comforts of home.

The Village of Anna Maria, on the north tip of Anna Maria, is the best part of the island. It is known for beautiful beaches, breathtaking sunsets and a bunch of really nice people. Not surprisingly, our number one recommendation is to set up an umbrella, plop down on a beach chair and watch the waves roll in. If being a beach bum is not your thing, you can stay busy by hunting for seashells, building a sandcastle or trying your hand at surf fishing. Either way, we provide all the equipment and recommendations to make your day at the beach relaxing and enjoyable.

The property is cozy and fit our family of 5 well. The closeness to the beach is amazing. We saw all kinds of wildlife including being only 5 feet away from a manatee. It is close to great restaurants and shopping, we never drove far to eat out. Kitchen is great we never had to look for anything.

Everything was as advertised. Steps onto the beach. Plenty of room. Beach supplies. Option to check out early or late was worth it. Restaurants in walking distance. Would book again! And the host was great!

The apartment is very clean, with comfortable beds and a very well stocked kitchen. There were plenty of towels, including beach towels. Proximity to the beach was as best as could be without being directly on the water. Stephanie was a perfect host and was available immediately for any questions we had. The only complaint we have is the upstairs guests could be heard. We could hear them walking above us as well as their 2 dogs barked frequently. But that was very minor. We would definitely come back again and stay at this very adorable unit.

Every expectation for our time of much needed R&R was exceeded. Our rental was clean, peaceful, within steps of the beach. Our hostess, Stephanie, was very accessible to any questions we had. We definitely plan to come back and we don’t need to research rental homes, we have our home away from home on Ana María Island. We wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else.

Our 3rd time staying at Stephanie’s seaside sanctuary! Absolutely love the location - proximity to beach, pine street shops and Rod and Reel pier restaurant. Cozy and functional beach accommodations, with laundry and a shed full of beach chairs, umbrellas, toys and wagons. (Grandkids even made the shed their Fort!) Anna Maria island is max relax and Stephanie is a pleasure to work with!!

This beach house was exactly what we were looking for. Private, close to the beach, and well-equipped. Stephanie thought of everything, and even intervened when we were woken up by a noisy construction crew at a neighboring property! She contacted the owner right away, and no more early morning noise. She truly went above and beyond! We were able to walk to restaurants. And also, enjoyed the full, modern kitchen with every amenity you could think of. And did I mention the mattresses? The most comfortable I have ever slept on in a vacation rental! Great place for a relaxing beach vacation :)

Seaside Sanctuary was the best, was clean and just as described in listing, literally just a few steps from front door and your on the beach. If you want a worry free vacation just call Stephanie. She literally thought of everything. My only regret was we didn’t stay longer. Thanks Stephanie!! For all your help!!!

Fantastic location!!!

Fantastic location!!!

We added a bonus day to our first trip to AMI and really appreciated so much about this vacation property. Stephanie was extremely responsive and accommodating to our situation and worked hard to provide early access as we were in between stays. Check in was very detailed and thorough. The house had many special touches such as a welcome treat for our dogs and cold bottles water/soda! The location is fantastic, literally steps from the beach. After staying near Holmes Beach the previous week, we really loved the quieter end of the island and the house being at the end of the street, so no traffic. We enjoyed a nice carry-out dinner on the front porch with a lovely breeze! Yet the location is still close to Pine St shopping and area restaurants.

The house was spotless and in the perfect location for a relaxing beach vacation. It is well equipped in the kitchen and for the beach (toys, towels, umbrella, and more). Walking distance to a great coffee shop and taqueria. Stephanie was friendly, helpful, and very professional. We will go back this year. I stayed with my spouse and 2 children ages 4 and 7. Lovely place for a nice family vacation.

Stephanie was super responsive, flexible and easy to communicate with. House was well stocked and well kept. It is on a quiet street and just a short walk to an awesome part of the beach. Our group had no children so we enjoyed being a bit further away from public beach, restaurants, etc. For us, it was perfect. So perfect we have already booked our return trip! Thanks Stephanie!

So good the first time, we came back!

Had a great family vacation 4 yrs ago and decided to come back again with the grandchildren this time. Very comfortable and child friendly accommodations. Well equipped kitchen. The extras are well appreciated (beach chairs, towels, toys, umbrellas, laundry). Quick and easy access to the beach which is where we spent the majority of our time building sand castles, enjoying the water, and of course - sea shell collecting.

Stephanie was a joy to work with, and the home is the perfect place to get away with your family for some down time! The beach is just steps away, and the shed has all of the beach necessities you could think of -- toys, chairs, umbrellas, etc. Plenty to do on the island and in surrounding areas. Great home, great community, great beach--we couldn't have asked for more!

Where to begin...the location is PERFECT. You are literally a stones throw from the sand. Stephanie (the owner) has definitely taken all the necessary steps to make this the perfect vacation rental. From the notable upgrades throughout the home, to providing the 5 star service and necessities, this is truly a GEM on one of the most beautiful places on the Western/Gulf side of Florida, Anna Maria Island. My family and I were 100% with the property, location and the owner. Do yourself a favor and enjoy Anna Maria Island at it's best! Thanks for the memories!
